    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING algebraic expressions to conceptualise the use of variables in mathematic equations and operation.
    • We are EXPLORING algebra to integrate our knowledge in numbers with variables and algebraic expressions.


    Learning Intentions: We are learning to (WALT)...

    • solve addition and subtraction of like terms of algebraic expressions
    • identify number patterns and completing them
    • substitute the value of x or y to find the value of the other from a given algebraic equation 
    • continue to build and/or strengthen basic facts recall and number knowledge that involved 2-digit numbers as well as decimals.


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • add and subtract like terms confidently and accurately with algebraic expressions
    • identify number patterns and complete them accordingly
    • round numbers including decimals to the correct number of significant figures
    • show consistent progress or maintain the ability of basic facts' accuracy and speed of recall
